Newbie here. I am trying to write a script that changes a button title according to a sysex message. I’m sure it’s something simple, but I just can’t figure it out. Here is my script.
[(sysex:F0 72 61 79 XX 64 79 30 F7){title:e_sysextext}].
This all comes from the scripting language documentation, including “e_sysextext”.
The logger says it received the sysex message and found the string I sent - “Organ”. But the title display is “e_sysextText” not the received value. I have also tried
sysextext
event_sysextext
all of the above with “@”, all of these with and without quotes. The result is aways the string in the action field, not the variable.
Based on experience with other languages, I would expect that quotes would be necessary to display the string in the action field. No quotes would look for a variable containing a string and if there was no match it would cause an error.
